Abstract

Introduction: Violence against women is motivated by domination in power relations, including male over female violence, defined as violent action that can cause physical, sexual or mental injury or suffering, as well as intimidation, deprivation of rights to freedom or coercion carried out inside and outside the home. This aggravation has been growing more and more throughout the world, and deserves to be discussed and combated in the scope of public policies.

Objective: To analyze the spatial distribution of domestic violence against women in the municipality of João Pessoa, Paraíba, Brazil.

Methods: It is a quantitative cross-sectional study of the census type that analysed all the reported cases of domestic violence against women resident in the municipality, the study scenario, in the year 2017. The data source was of the secondary type, in the two Specialized Police Offices for Women’s Affairs - DEAM, present in the municipality.

Results: We observed spatial patterns of domestic violence against women, as

well as agglomerations throughout the capital, from the most affluent exclusive

neighbourhoods to those living on the margins of society, proving that this violence has no class distinction.

Conclusion: The study reached the proposed goal by analyzing the spatial distribution of domestic violence in the research scenario based on spatial patterns.
